The Oklahoma National Guard has rejected the Defense Department’s requirement for all service members to receive the coronavirus vaccine and will allow personnel to sidestep the policy with no repercussions, an order from the governor that could serve as a blueprint for other Republican-led states that have challenged Biden administration mandates.

Brig. Gen. Thomas Mancino, appointed this week by Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) as adjutant of the state’s 10,000 National Guard soldiers and airmen, on Thursday notified those under his command that they are not required to receive the vaccine and won’t be punished if they decline it.

It’s an extraordinary refusal of Pentagon policy by the general and follows Stitt’s written request to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin seeking suspension of the requirement for Guard personnel in the state.

How do we not have a like button yet?????

A thousand likes! I was just having the conversation with my father the other day that Oklahoma was my new favorite state. The hunting seasons are better, they are the reddest state in the union, the population isn’t being inundated with californians at the same rate as Texas….. it is the best of all worlds as far as i can see it.

Heck, Texas’s property tax even makes up for Oklahoma’s tiny income tax rate.

Bravo Oklahoma, I hope others follow suit. Do not bend at the knee, do not comply, resist the tyrants. Its time for civil discourse.

In unrelated news, Abbott announced in a month he will decide if Texas' NG should be required to get the jab.

Good on Oklahoma. For once someone beat Florida and DeSantis to making conservative moves that fly in the face of the Brandon Administration.
